New Balance 9060 - Black - 4

Yes, with their dual-density midsole featuring ABZORB and SBS cushioning, the New Balance 9060 trainers are designed to provide exceptional comfort and support, making them ideal for all-day wear for kids during school, play, and casual activities.

We recommend measuring your child's foot length and comparing it to the official New Balance Kids' size chart. It's often helpful to measure both feet, and fit to the larger one. Also, remember to allow a small amount of growing room at the toe.

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, especially the suede and leather overlays, and compromise the shoe's structure. Always follow the spot cleaning and air drying instructions provided in the care section.

The New Balance 9060 trainers are versatile and best suited for everyday casual wear, school, playground activities, walking, and light running. They offer comfort and support but are not specifically engineered for competitive sports.

ABZORB is New Balance's proprietary foam material that provides optimal cushioning and compression resistance. SBS cushioning is a non-cellular, foam-based compound that enhances cushioning and energy return. Together, they offer a smooth, shock-absorbing, and comfortable ride.

Inspired by the classic 990 series, these expanded elements integrated into the upper are primarily a design feature that contributes to the shoe's distinctive, futuristic aesthetic, giving a dynamic sense of motion and reinforcing the Y2K era inspiration.

Adjust the lace fastening. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For a looser fit, relax the tension. Ensure your child is wearing appropriate socks. If issues persist, consider professional foot measuring or consult a New Balance size guide.

Use a dedicated suede brush to gently restore the nap and remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a specialized suede eraser or cleaner, following the product instructions carefully. Avoid harsh scrubbing or water.

Allow trainers to air out thoroughly after each wear. Remove insoles if possible and let them dry separately. You can use shoe deodorizers or sprinkle baking soda inside overnight (remove before wearing).

Inspect the diamond pattern rubber outsole for embedded debris like small stones, and carefully remove them. Ensure the outsole is clean, as dirt can reduce grip. If the sole is excessively worn, this indicates it might be time for new footwear.

This can occur with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store trainers in a cool, dry place away from harsh light. For existing fading, there are specialized shoe dyes or conditioners, but results can vary, especially on suede.
